The Undine's Tear on tour!
I’ve got some very exciting book news in this post about both of my current series, starting with the upcoming blog tour for The Undine’s Tear (Rise of the Grigori Book 1).
What’s a blog tour? Well, it means my book is going to be featured on a bunch of blogs. In this case, thirteen. And it also means, in this case, that there will be a whole bunch of new behind-the-scenes content that I’ll be creating for these blogs to post.
Kind of like the special features on a DVD (remember DVDs?), but it will be hosted in thirteen different places all over the Internet.
Consider this your DVD menu. :-)
So, here’s where to find posts and what dates they’ll be going live. (Hint, it’s always on Wednesday, starting next week.) And be sure to scroll to the bottom to hear about the prizes.
Yep, you heard me. :-)

Current WIP News:
Lastly, while I’m updating the blog, I wanted to let you know the progress on my current manuscript, Every Star that Shines.
And, the news is, as of the end of this week, the first draft will be done! It goes to my developmental editor and beta readers on March 28, so I’ll be cramming the revision into the next week and a bit, but it’s already in pretty good shape, so I’m not worried about the short turnaround.
I’m so excited to share this sweet romance story with you. It turned out even better than I thought it would. You’re going to love it. :-) (If you’re the kind of person who likes reading sweet romance, that is. I mean, I guess I shouldn’t just assume.)
I’ll post again soon with an update on this project and, hopefully, an excerpt from the revised draft.
If this is the first you’ve heard of this project, it’s the first book in a new sweet small town romance series set in an analog of my hometown, Peace River. I hope locals will love seeing some familiar scenery and landmarks in these pages, as well as a distinctly Peace Country vibe. But don’t worry—all the people are a hundred percent fictional!

Happy Wednesday, friend! Talk to you again soon!
My newest book will be released into the world in less than two weeks! Here's a bit more about it and how you can get your hands on it with some awesome extras!
